Well, time to get my city server back from the dead

Would it be too much to ask for an event to turn a specific brick into a mailbox?

Yes

Yes it is

Would it be too much to ask for an event to turn a specific brick into a mailbox?
Not at all; adding "isMlbx = true;" to a brick's datablock will allow it to function as a mailbox, which can easily be done with an event. The only problem is that the brick won't save as a mailbox when builds are saved.

Can do.



v2.0.0 is close to being done, here's the progress thus far:

  • [DONE] Add event to set any brick as a mailbox (saving custom mail bricks is no longer an issue)
  • [DONE] Allow adding 1x1 letter prints to P.O. boxes - for recognizing your mail brick when they stacked in an array
  • [DONE] Message cooldown timer (to prevent spam)
  • [DONE] Allow adjusting the inbox limit and cooldown timer value (via RTB / server pref variables)
  • [DONE] Post Office drop box brick (to send outgoing mail to a player's mailbox or P.O. box via a popup menu)
  • Scripts and relative GUIs for the drop box
  • Include new cards
  • Possibly add custom message GUI


How about post office mail boxes?
Here's how it'd work,
You plant a p.o. box and then you can put mail in it, the player comes and gets the mail.

Now have a preference that gives someone a specific job to deliver... I think there is a pointless mail RP/DM in the future.

P.O. Boxes are actually already included - if a player plants one at a post office, then other players can leave them mail by activating it with a mail item, and they can check their inbox by activating the brick themselves.




Update: v2.0.0 has been uploaded and is awaiting approval. The new update includes:
  • A public Drop Box brick - which allows you to send mail to a player's named mailbox / P.O. box by selecting it from a pop up list.
  • A new event - to set any brick as a mail brick.
  • Cooldown Timer - to prevent spam when sending mail to players.
  • Remodeled P.O. Box - now supports 1x1 letter prints.
  • Server preference variables - to adjust the cooldown timer, modify the inbox limit for GUIs and to toggle the event.


Edit: v2 has been approved!

you should make some form of currency item to go with all of your system things

RPGx does use a currency system based on gold coin items. The built-in shops use them for currency, and events included with the mod can be used to check for, add or remove stacks of coins from a player's inventory.

oh wow :o
Very nice
